  3. I have not been on here for several years. I apologize if this is the wrong spot. I had sleeve 5 years ago and lost 40 lbs. I started at 224. I am currently 212 and have gained 13 pounds since late October. I think I know the answers but looking for help and tips. How do I lose again?
  4. I never did get nauseous. No food makes me feel bad. I wish it did.

  7. I ran across this article today. I was interested because I had my endoscopy at Forest Park, but my surgery was moved from there. Thank goodness my doctor was not named in the article!!! A doctor I see on this site is name, however. http://www.dmagazine.com/frontburner/2017/02/forest-park-co-founder-richard-toussaint-pleads-guilty-and-airs-out-his-partners/

  9. Just curious.. was your sister on multivitamin with iron after surgery? I guess I'm just wondering if I should start some iron now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-T377A using the BariatricPal App I do not iknow if she was. I think so, but just dont remember. YOU need to get on them now if you are not already!!!! I get mine from a a company that has prescription B12 nose spray, and it is done weekly. They give you a multi Vitamin, calcium/D Vitamins with it. It costs $25 a month and they are excellent vitamins. You can get pills or chewable. You can google Nascobal. That is the nose spray. I started my vitamin regimen before I even had surgery.
  10. I'm in Midland too...sleeved 1/13/16 I just now read this!!!!! HAHA how many years later??? You have just hit your 1 year mark. How are you? Who did your surgery?

  13. oh my gosh. it was horrible. as a matter of fact, her bloodwork is all good now and she is still extremely fatigued. infusions were about 8 months ago. now she has headaches every day. we dont really think it has anything to do with her Iron or surgery now, we just dont have a clue what is causing all this.
  14. my sister had rny 3 years ago and just got over dealing with a MAJOR Iron deficiency. she had to have an iron and blood transfusion.
  15. i take a pill daily that if not taken makes me sick!!!!!!!!! the withdrawal effect is awful. i was allowed to crush my pill and take it so i never missed a dose. i will say i could only handle the crushed pills about a week; the taste is awful. i, then, started taking them whole and had no issue. they were not huge.

  17. That is very normal. I started with 30 g of protein then gradually went up. 100 daily now. Just stay hydrated and get as much protein as you can but know it is not anywhere close to your top amount.

  21. Doc told me carbonation will stretch the sleeve.
  22. Nascobal b12 nose spray, prescription. You get free vitamins. EXCELLENTLY vitamins. Chewables or pills.
  23. There is a current post, today, about hair loss. Search for it. Basically I lost a ton of hair for four months then it stopped and it has all grown back. Just a bump in the road. Love your new body and don't sweat the temporary hair loss
